The integumentary system regulates temperature inside the body by insulation, trapping heat inside the body and making it difficult to escape. This is one of the reasons why the human body is normally warm to the touch.

Radiation from the skin surface and evaporation of sweat are two ways in which the skin helps to get rid of body?
Heat
How does sweat cool the body by removing heat?
Perspiration is moisture on the skin which evaporates. Evaporation sends the atoms of perspiration into the air. It takes energy (heat) to do this, so as the heat leaves the skin, the skin becomes cooler.
The epidermis is a void of?
The epidermis is the outer layer of the human beings skin. It keeps the good stuff in and keeps the bad stuff out.
What part of the heat liberating apparatus of the body?
Part of the heat liberating apparatus of the body is the eccrine sweat gland. Eccrine sweat glands are found in the skin, mostly on the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet.
Which skin appendages aid in cooling the skin when the body temperature or the external environmental temperature is high?
RELAXING THE BLOOD VESSELS, SO INCREASE THE SURFACE AREA FOR THE BLOOD TO EXPOSE AND REDUCE THE HEAT EFFECT
How do fruits conduct heat?
The skin keeps it in.
What keeps the upper part of the thunderstorm rising?
The release of latent heat
How does the skin help us?
Skin is the largest organ of the human body. It is a protective covering - keeps bacteria out, keeps warmth in. It provides us sensory perception: we feel through nerve endings on the skin (touch, heat, cold, pressure, pain). Skin acts as part of the excretory system by ridding the body of salts (sweat). It helps us produce vitamin D when we are exposed to sunlight.
Which part of the skin in heat?
I think it might be the fatty layer. -JoshuaP
What is a material that keeps heat inside?
insolation keeps heat in best.
Does cold water dry your skin?
no,cold wated keeps your skin refreshed its keeps your skin from getting dry
How does vasoconstriction help warm the body up?
Vasoconstriction keeps you warm by making the blood vessels of the skin smaller thereby not allowing as much blood to flow to the skin. This reduces the amount of heat that is lost through the skin.
Part of heat liberating apparatus of body skin?
Hair and eccrine sweat glands
What keeps the mantle from cooling down and becoming solid?
convection currents bringing heat to every part of the mantle
Do cats like resting on warm platforms?
Yes, they do. It feels comfortable and nice. Just because they have fur that keeps them warm, doesn't mean when they go on a warm platform, they get too hot! Animals with fur can sometimes withstand more heat than we can. The fur on them not only keeps them warm, but because it is so thick, the fur takes the heat and hasn't reached the skin part yet. (You see, there is the outer side of the fur, and the inner side of the fur, which is attached to the skin.) If heat touches the outer side, the animal can't feel that much heat because it hasn't reached the skin. For example, you touch a hot surface with your skin. If you put a thick, fur coat above the surface then touch it, it doesn't hurt. It works too if you have it all over your body.
What is a part of the heat-liberating apparatus of the body?
Most heat exits the head, most of the rest is through water sweated through the skin.
Why are burns so painful?
Steam burns are painful because they damage the skin just like any other burn. Steam burns hurt because the water in steam keeps the heat trapped in the skin.
